Hey!

Does anyone remember that adventure game from 1993, Day Of The Tentacle?

There is one character, Hoagie, who is the drummer of a heavy metal band. I think he looks quite familiar, what do you think?

Don't forget the skull in his shirt ;) (Death). Gene was in Death exactly in 1993 to 1995 ;)

Depends who the character designers are. They usually draw inspiration from actual people. For example, who ever wrote that one character is a drummer of a death metal band, one of the character designers might have thought "Death....metal band...Death!" or something :P And thought of Gene from Death

I don't see how that could not be related to Gene.
